Daily Reminders

Do it for you.

Daily Reminders

There are things we need to be reminded of every day just to get us through. Often times we are at a loss for words, or feeling worthless and lonely because of other people, but these are things that we do to ourselves. We need reminders that we are still valid.

1. You are important.

You matter. People need you in their lives and wouldn't know what to do without you. Without your companionship they'd be lost. People will take you for granted but at the end of the day you are what gets them through the day.

2. Stop putting other people's happiness first.

This is super important. You can try to build mountains for people just so that they can see the view but it'll only matter in the moment. When everyone else is happy around you, you're still not going to be happy. You have to put you first. Don't do things because other people want you to. This is hard but it needs to be remembered.

3. Alone time is necessary.

Being alone is okay. In fact, it is more than okay. Doing things that you want to do, watching the shows that you want to watch; THAT'S FINE. Do yourself a favor and lay in bed alone all day with everything that you enjoy because you deserve it.

4. Fresh air will do you good.

Going outside and taking a walk is good for you. Take in the air and look around at what all of nature has to offer to you. Lay in the grass or just sit outside. Respect what's around you.

5. Treat yourself.

Just eat that cookie, or that ice cream cone especially when you're sad.

You is kind. You is smart. You is important. Don't forget it.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
